About the Game

Manage the ecosystem, unlock special fish and items, and survive boss incursions. Every fish has a trick. Every item changes the game. Discover unstoppable combos and conquer each run your way!

Features:

  • 58 fish types, 51 items and 13 bosses. All with unique behavior and abilities. (With more to come!)

  • Endlessly Replayable: Strategize and build new combos every run

  • Meta-progression: Become stronger as you unlock permanent upgrades and pets across runs

  • Play at your pace: Difficulty ranges from Zen Mode to Boss Rush

  • Catch rare fish variants to be kept in the peaceful Virtual Tank mode

Start each run with a school of Guppies. Grow their population to trigger various spawn conditions. Balance your predator and prey population to set yourself up for the next boss wave.

From time to time, challenging bosses appear to attack your fish. Various fish types will help with your defense. Equip your fish with powerful items, unleash their abilities and keep the ecosystem alive!

Collect coins as you nurture your fish and repel bosses. Spend them wisely at the rotating shop to hold the line!

Before each run, strategize and choose from various persistent items and pets to start your game strong.

Select Zen difficulty to start a peaceful run. Catch fish including rare variants to add them to your collection. Earn coins to display prized fish and enable upgrades for the Virtual Tank to build your dream aquarium!
